We extend our thanks and gratitude to the hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic individuals who make the ICC a successfulevent each year. Once again, our volunteershelped make the 2004 ICC a success, and we thank them for a job well done!

The ICC requires extensive preparations toensure that activities run smoothly on cleanupday. Our coordinators begin their work monthsin advance and continue post-cleanup tasks into the New Year. From securing local sponsors and volunteers to organizing themarine debris data, these coordinators helpensure a successful cleanup for everyoneinvolved. We thank them for their hard work,dedication, and willingness to volunteer theirtime to this important cause (see pages 29-32 for a complete list of 2004 ICC coordinators).

Special thanks also go to our sponsors for their financial support, employee volunteer participation, and many in-kind donations. Their generosity with supplies, food, beverages,services, and other gifts keep our volunteersmotivated and energized for their task. Weappreciate their contributions and commitmentto a cleaner marine environment (see pages 33-36 for a list of global sponsors; see pages37-38 for a list of U.S. state sponsors).

The International Coastal Cleanup engages people to remove trash

and debris from the world’s beaches and waterways, to identify the

sources of debris, and to change the behaviors that cause pollution.

2004 INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP 1

From plastic debris littering the shores of remoteislands to furnishings and car parts clogging riversand streams to fishing nets and line smothering andentangling coral reefs, marine debris is one of themost insidious problems facing our oceans today.Virtually no shoreline or beach on earth is free fromtrash. And the scene looks much the same underwater, where the ocean bottom becomes a veritabletrash can for discarded goods.

The truth is, every piece of trash has the chanceof becoming marine debris. And once it does, it canstay that way for weeks, months, and even years,affecting ocean life and habitats for miles. That’sbecause today’s world relies heavily on syntheticmaterials—such as beverage bottles, cigarette butts,and fishing line—that are durable and highly buoy-ant. Once this debris enters oceans and waterways,it degrades slowly and can travel thousands ofmiles away from its point of origin. These propertiesmake marine debris one of the most difficult oceanproblems to address.

Not that people aren’t trying: for the 19th year,volunteers across the globe joined together onSeptember 18, 2004 to remove debris from theworld’s oceans, streams, and waterways as part ofthe International Coastal Cleanup (ICC).

Today, the ICC is held around every major bodyof water in the world. But the Cleanup isn’t justabout pollution cleanup; it’s also about pollutionprevention. The ICC educates and empowers people to take action and become part of the solution. In addition to collecting and removingdebris, volunteers record the types of debris theypick up. The Ocean Conservancy compiles andanalyzes this information each year to identify theactivities and general sources causing the debris.The final information is then used to educate thepublic, business, industry, and government officialsabout the marine debris problem.

The 2004Cleanup—held onSeptember 18,2004—sawgrowth in several areas.Worldwide, more than305,000 peopleremoved over 7.7 million pounds of debris from more than11,000 miles of shoreline. Five new countries—Brunei, Malawi, Samoa, Sudan, and Tunisia—joinedin the cleanup efforts, bringing the total number of participating countries to 88. More than 6,600divers participated in underwater cleanups, gathering more than 155,000 pounds of debrisfrom 382 miles of riverbed and seafloor. Volunteerparticipation also increased in several countries. In India, 20,160 people volunteered for the ICC—an increase of 9,044 volunteers from last year.Nigeria more than quadrupled its volunteer participation, going from 1,632 volunteers in 2003to 7,319 in 2004. In the United States, Georgia’scleanup efforts expanded to include “Rivers Alive”activities, increasing statewide participation to22,198 volunteers.

“If we don’t attack the problem,

we’ll never get it solved. There are not

just scenic problems: it’s harmful to

marine life. It has real consequences.”

THE OCEAN CONSERVANCY2

Marine Debris: Where Does It Come From?According to the U.S. Department of Commerceand the U.S. Navy, approximately 80 percent ofdebris is washed off the land, blown by winds, orintentionally dumped from shore.1 Results from the2004 Cleanup support this conclusion and give aclear indication that our activities on land continueto have serious repercussions on our oceans andwaterways. Over 60 percent of all debris found during the 2004 Cleanup originated from land-based recreational activities such as picnics, festivals, sports, and days at the beach. Almost 76percent of that debris included food-related itemssuch as food wrappers, beverage bottles and cans,utensils, plates, cups, and straws. Litter washedfrom streets, parking lots, and storm drains alsocontributed to this category of debris. Smokingactivities came in second, accounting for 21 percentof the debris collected. Fishing nets accounted forthe majority of ocean and waterway activities—

activities that originate offshore—which contributed11 percent of the total, and dumping activities were responsible for a little less than six percent.While medical and personal hygiene made up littlemore than one percent of the total debris, itaccounted for some of the more disturbing items,including thousands of used condoms, syringes,and tampons.

But debris does not stop at the water line.Underwater cleanup volunteers discovered morethan 150,000 pounds of debris, much of which had been on the ocean floor or river bottom for several years. In 2004, the debris found underwaterclosely mimicked the results found on shore. Again,shoreline and recreational activities accounted forthe majority of debris—54 percent—with smokingactivities coming in second at more than 28 percent.Activities occurring on the water contributed slightlymore than 10 percent. One of the problems withdebris from ocean and waterway activities—includingfishing line and nets, rope, and plastic sheeting—isthat it is among the most destructive. This debriscan remain in the water, posing a continual threat to marine wildlife and humans. It is little wonder that this debris is the most common type found inanimal entanglements.

Each year, the ICC tabulates a Top Ten list of the 10 most prevalent items found during theCleanup. In addition to being some of the mostabundant items, this year’s Top Ten account for nearly three-quarters of the total collected debris.As further proof of the insidiousness of land-basedactivities, shoreline and recreational activities made up approximately 72 percent of the total Top Ten items, and eight of the Top Ten items were attributed to the category. Fishing nets alsomade the Top Ten, illustrating that human activities on the water can also have ramificationsfor ocean ecosystems.

Since 1990, most of the items found during theICC have been waste from consumable goods—from cigarettes to prepackaged food and beverageproducts—that are discarded after the product isused or consumed. Pinpointing these types ofdebris and the activities that cause them aids intracing sources of debris and in creating educational programs to help people develop anew mind set toward littering and purchasing.

Dangers of DebrisEach year, volunteers find animals caught in a variety of debris. The results can be deadly; debrisentanglement can cause lethal cuts, hamperedmobility, suffocation, drowning, and debris ingestion—when animals mistake debris for food—can lead to strangulation and starvation. Accordingto the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy report, a1997 study found that at least 267 species havebeen affected by marine debris worldwide, including 86 percent of all sea turtle species, 44percent of all seabird species, and 43 percent of all marine mammal species, as well as numerousfish and crustaceans.2

In 2004, volunteers found 186 animals entangledin debris. Discarded fishing line was responsible fornearly half of all entanglements, with rope and fishingnets coming in second (16 percent) and third (11percent). Even though these items represent lessthan 10 percent of the total number of recordeditems, debris such as fishing line, plastic bags, rope,and balloons can be more dangerous to wildlife.

Entanglements are an especially pressing problem for Hawaiian monk seals in theNorthwestern Hawaiian Islands. Currents depositderelict fishing gear and other debris from thousands of miles away onto the NorthwesternHawaiian Islands. Fishing nets smother the area’sfragile coral reefs and create an irresistible lure forcurious endangered Hawaiian monk seals, whichcan easily become entangled.

Discarded fishing

line was responsible

for nearly half of all

entanglements.

DANGERS OF ELECTRONIC DEBRIS

Discarded computer equipment is the UnitedStates’ fastest growing category of solid waste.In fact, the National Safety Council estimatesthat as many as 500 million computers willbecome obsolete by 2007. While some may be handed down or reused, many more willsimply be thrown away. During the 2004International Coastal Cleanup, volunteersreported finding more than 100 discarded computers worldwide.

Many people do not realize that their abandoned computers contain several hazardous chemicals—including chromium, mercury, and lead—that can leach into the soiland groundwater and eventually reach theoceans, even if the computer was dumped ina landfill. The dangers these electronics pose to people and the environment promptedMassachusetts to become the first U.S. state tooutlaw dumping computer monitors in landfills.

What should you do with your old computer?According to PC World, the best options are todonate or recycle your PCs. Most people canfind local organizations that need donated computers, especially schools or other charitableorganizations. Recycling an old computer is alittle more difficult, because it requires finding aqualified recycler. PC World reports that theInternational Association of ElectronicsRecyclers (www.iaer.org) is working on a data-base to help people find appropriate facilitiesthat will recycle old electronic equipment. In theUnited States, the National Recycling Coalition(www.nrc-recycle.org) has posted a list of state PC recycling programs. Several majorcomputer manufacturers, like Dell and HewlettPackard, also recycle used machines.

The problem is so severe that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)has been working with the U.S. Coast Guard andother groups for several years to remove derelictgear from the area’s waters and reefs. Even afteryears of effort and tons of debris removal, scientists estimate that more than 100 tons of derelict fishingnets and gear still remain in the NorthwesternHawaiian Islands.

While marine mammal entanglements may bethe most well known, they comprise only 10 percent of the total entanglements found during the 2004 ICC. Fish and invertebrates accounted for more than half of all recorded entanglements.Seabirds are also victims of debris: volunteersfound 46 entangled birds, nearly a quarter of thetotal entangled wildlife. These findings illustrate that marine debris affects all aspects of the oceanecosystem, even those species that spend less time in and on the water.

“In the past four

years alone, federal,

state, and non-

governmental

partnerships have

hauled over 50 tons of nets and line

off reefs in state waters in the

Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.”

GILBERT COLOMA-AGARAN / CHAIRPERSON, BOARD OF

LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES, HAWAII,

TESTIMONY TO THE U.S. COMMISSION ON OCEAN

POLICY, MAY 2002

What’s Being Done?Marine debris is such a pressing issue that theU.S. Commission on Ocean Policy dedicated anentire chapter on the subject in its 2004 report,which was designed to create a blueprint for a new comprehensive national ocean policy. In it, the Commission recommended several actions theUnited States should take to address the problemof marine debris. The report tasked the NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)to work in concert with the EnvironmentalProtection Agency to establish a marine debrismanagement program that would focus on education and outreach, working with communitiesand industry, and improving debris source identification, monitoring, and research. The reportalso encouraged the agencies to coordinate andimplement expanded marine debris control efforts.In addition, the Commission urged that the UnitedStates work on reducing derelict fishing gear andensuring adequate facilities for garbage disposalfrom ships. In its findings, the Commission citeddata from the ICC on several occasions.

Interest in curbing marine debris has alsosparked recent congressional action. SenatorsDaniel Inouye (HI) and Ted Stevens (AK) introduced the Marine Debris Research andReduction Act to Congress in early 2005. Amongother actions, the bill creates a new marine debrisprogram within NOAA, enhances Coast Guardefforts against marine debris, and enacts a federalmarine debris information clearinghouse. While ithas yet to become law, the bill has garnered support in the U.S. Department of Commerce and NOAA.

Marine debris is one of the most frustrating environmental threats because it is easily one of the most preventable; the solution is in our hands.Consequently, individual action to curb marinedebris is just as important as legislative or politicaledicts, if not more so. Here are some steps you cantake to do your part to reduce the amount of marinedebris that enters our oceans and waterways:

● Dispose of trash properly. This helps to reduce the amount of trash that washes into waterways from storm drains.

● Reduce, reuse, and recycle.

● Look for alternative materials or avoid excessive packaging when deciding on purchases.

● Cut the rings of six-pack holders. This lowers the risk of entanglement to marine animals if the holders do make it out to sea.

● Participate in local beach, river, or stream cleanups.

● Educate others about marine debris.

● Promote local solutions to debris.3

Data from the last decade indicates that themajority of people do not consider their contribu-tions to marine debris to be significant enough towarrant a change in personal behavior. This is thereal problem that the ICC seeks to solve: toincrease people’s awareness of their contribution to the problem and inspire change. Consequently,continued education on the harmful effects debrishas on our oceans, waterways, and our own lives is vital to help alter the behaviors that cause thisproblem. The 2004 ICC report is one of severaltools The Ocean Conservancy uses in its ongoingefforts to educate society and create solutions tothis long-standing problem. ●

“The message has to come out to

people that they share responsibility

for the [marine debris] problem.

They have to appreciate what the

impacts are, and that basically they

—by polluting, by littering—are

contributing.”

AGENCY, TESTIMONY TO THE U.S. COMMISSION ON

OCEAN POLICY, MAY 2002

THINKING GLOBALLY, ACTING LOCALLY

So what possesses hundreds of thousands ofpeople to spend a Saturday morning picking up someone else’s trash? There are nearly asmany reasons as there are volunteers. A senseof responsibility, care for the environment, and a desire to give back are a just few reasonspeople volunteer for the International CoastalCleanup (ICC).

Another compelling reason volunteers cite isan understanding that they are part of a largerglobal community. The ICC allows participantsto help the global environment through theirlocal actions. According to Kenny Ehman,Japan’s O.C.E.A.N./Okinawa InternationalBeach Cleanup coordinator, volunteers like theICC because it is a common cause that helpsthem connect with others around the globe.Kathy Evans, coordinator for Muskegon County,Michigan, agrees. “People like to make a difference in their community,” she says. “TheICC connects their local work to a more globalexperience, making the event more valuable tothem.” In Hawaii, local site coordinator CynthiaHo believes that everyone who volunteers forthe Cleanup wants to take care of the environ-ment. The Cleanup makes volunteers feel likethey are part of an international community, shesays, and doing something locally that has aglobal effect gives them a greater sense of fulfillment.

People are also discovering that they canlearn from one another. Enriqueta Hawkins, ICC coordinator for San Andrés, uses the ICCto gain additional scientific knowledge aboutdebris and to network with other countries tolearn from their experiences. “Everyone is committed to fulfilling a common goal—healthyoceans,” she says.

It is this sense of international communitythat encourages people to continue participatingin the ICC, even when the going gets rough.Captain Rajan Vir, India’s ICC coordinator,admits that while his volunteers are making adifference, “it is going to be a long haul.”Fortunately, Vir is encouraged by “the warmth of friendship binding us all from different continents in the pursuit of a common goal.”Aren’t we all?
